MAGNAchrom magazine issue #4 is up
Dear MAGNAchromers,
Wow. The 4th issue is finally “in the can” and is available to download for free from our website www.magnachrom.com. Time for me to take a day off (or two) and then start the 5th issue.
Anyway, we have really been listening to your your ideas over the past few months. And as a result, this issue has been totally re-designed in order to allow us to better provide MAGNAchrom in alternate media in the future (such as CD-ROM, print-on-demand, etc). We have lots more planned in the near future and only need your continued support.

P.S. the next issue, the 5th, is all about night photography and we still have some "room" for a few additional supporting articles — please feel free to pmail me at editor “at” magnachrom “dot” com and I’ll try to fit your work in.
P.P.S the following issue, the 6th, will be all about hybrid photography — probably our most ambitious issue yet. Any of you who are comfortable mixing analog and digital processes should REALLY consider contributing to this issue. Pmail me as above.

Adventures in year-old DIY C-41 chemistry
See what happens when alspix—the man who brought us the now-legendary matchbox pinhole camera—processes film in year-old, over-used C-41 colour negative chemistry from a DIY kit. The results are surprising!
Read about it at Alspix Stuff.
He used this Nova C-41 kit, which is available in the UK. For those in the US, check out the variable time, variable temperature Arista quart and gallon C-41 kits, as well as pint, quart, and gallon E-6 (slide/positive/reversal) kits from Freestyle Photo.

Chris Keeney offers custom MintyCam pinhole cameras
Experimental photographer and camera builder Chris Keeney (whom I recently had the pleasure of interviewing) is now offering custom, hand-made MintyCams, which are pinhole cameras made from Altoids mint tins.
Keeney writes:
For those of you that are interested in the mintycam, but aren’t sure you want to go to all the trouble of painting, cutting, etc., you can now pay a small price for me to make one for you. Since this is a labor of love, I’ve decided to keep the cost low, while charging enough to cover my material costs.
You get:
1. Altoids tin that is painted with primer and flat black paint.
2. A professionally drilled CK pinhole (about 250-300 microns)
3. Loading and unloading instructions
4. CK tips & tricks for taking better mintycam photos
3. Take-up spool and silver metallic turn key
4. Certified Mail / Shipping
5. Custom stencil painting of your initials and the creation date
Not bad for US $28! You can order here, as well as get instructions for building your own.
